This book is based in part on true events. Certain liberties have been taken with names, places, dates, events, and some characters portrayed bear no resemblance whatsoever to the person(s) actually involved in the true events described in this book of poems. The allusions are not intended to demote anything or anyone, but to be viewed only as my subjective aesthetical device as an artist to enrich, and bring fruition to my literary work. This book is not written to promote or encourage the use of any narcotic or alcohol substance. It is only to be viewed and enjoyed as a literary work of art.
